Playing as Ashe
Tips to maximize your impact
- Poke with Volley
Poke with Volley (W) whenever it's up: it applies the Frost Shot (passive) slow, and its cooldown drops from 18 to 4 seconds as you rank it up.
- Kite whoever charges you
Kite the bruisers who run at you: each auto slows them with Frost Shot (passive), and Ranger's Focus (Q) boosts your attack speed.
- Fire your arrow across the map
Fire Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) from far away to help another lane: the farther the arrow travels, the longer the stun.
- Send your hawk before going in
Send Hawkshot (E) over an objective or a brush before going in: the hawk reveals the area for 5 seconds, and the spell has two charges.
Playing against Jinx
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: with the minigun from Switcheroo! (Q), each auto increases her attack speed, so long trades favor her.
- Punish her lack of mobility
If you can engage, go for her when her support walks away: with no dash or leap, Jinx can only back off on foot.
- Walk around her traps
Don't step on Flame Chompers! (E): they root the champion who touches them. Walk around them or wait for them to vanish after 5 seconds.
- Deny her the first kill
If you can reach her, focus her first: any takedown gives her a big speed boost with Get Excited! (passive).
